Nutrition Standards for Foods in Schools: Leading the Way Toward Healthier Youth
APPENDIX B
Energy Requirements
Estimated Energy Requirements for Boys and Girls
In this sample, median physical activity levels (low active PAL) ranged from 1.47 to 1.54 in 5- to 10-year-old children, 1.53 to 1.79 (low active to active PAL) in 11- to 13- year-old children, and 1.63 to 1.89 (active PAL) in 14- to 18-year-olds. Based on this information, appropriate discretionary energy provided as snacks for elementary school children would range between 124 and 169 calories; for middle school children, between 163 and 236 calories, and for high school students, between 210 and 294 calories.
